Modernity, R.I.P. 1945 : its delusions destroyed by human scientific "magical thinking" at the top and "microbial intelligence" at the bottom

Germany was long considered both the most scientific and the most cultured of all major human civilizations --- the very apogee of Modernity.

Proof positive, proclaimed Modernity's leading lights, that all the intelligence and civility in the Tree of Life was at the very top among the leading human nations --- and that all its stupidity and murderous intent was at the very bottom with the pathogenic microbes.

Microbial "Intelligence"

Until WWII, when Germany scientists, along with the Allies, totally failed to best the microbes' intelligence when it came to making life-saving penicillin.

We can't synthesize penicillin anywhere near as easily, safely and cheaply as the humble fungus slime can - and that's still the case seventy five years on.

Probably nobody in Germany noticed this failure, because its leading scientists and intellectuals were indulging themselves instead in some wildly magical thinking.

Scientific "Magical" Thinking

Theses "smartest beings in the universe" somehow deluded themselves - without any scientific evidence - that their murderous draining of Europe's gene poll of all its Jews, Roma, Gays, Handicapped, Socialists, etc could only make Germany bigger and smarter, not smaller and stupider.

About Me

I write, urgently, about our world's painfully too-slow transition into a new era, the Age of Entanglement. Ironically - and typically - this supposed new era actually represents a modified return to the world's oldest philosophy.
For the ancients almost universally saw all life as thoroughly entangled, saw all lifeforms as dining together at a common table - open commensality on a global scale.
Today’s science demonstrates that for us to survive on Earth, humans must sustain the lifeforms that in turn sustain us . So, for example, for us to kill the ocean’s upper reaches will soon remove the very oxygen we need to live.
And economics confirms we can not afford to replace the tens of trillions of dollars of free goods that Nature effortlessly provides humanity annually : there is no “Mars Plan B”.
